'Justin is one of le Carré's most powerful creations ... This is the novel which finally takes John le Carré out of reach of genre and formula and which establishes him as one of the most profound moralists writing today'
Sunday Herald, Glasgow
'This is newish ground for one of Britain's most skilful writers, and he works it very well'
Guardian
'The master storyteller has begun to weave another classic narrative. Nobody writing today manipulates suspense better. Nobody constructs a more tantalisingly complex plot. There is more, however, to THE CONSTANT GARDENER than the drama of its exciting story. ... There are mysteries in all relationships, and it is an index of le Carré's greatness as a novelist that he is prepared to let them be. THE CONSTANT GARDENER is a powerful, moving novel that stands with le Carré's best. It is, in other words, essential reading'
Sunday Telegraph
'This is le Carré with a twist, the Old Master developing new techniques for a new age. ... What is different in this book, however, is the passion'
The Times
'Beautifully structured, well-paced and informative'
Literary Review
'Le Carré is an intelligent, serious and conscientious writer, who always gives customers full weight'
Independent (Weekend Review)
'And so to the greatest and most welcome return to form of a writer who last found national acclaim in the dark days of the Seventies. THE CONSTANT GARDENER is a passionate and enthralling examination of the West's failure to deal with things that the end of communism should have made it easier to confront - corporate greed and domestic political corruption. As an examination of the human soul ... it must stand a better chance than most of surviving into the near and middle future'
Robert McCrum, the Observer
Tessa Quayle has been horribly murdered on the shores of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the birthplace of mankind. Her putative African lover, a doctor with one of the aid agencies, has disappeared.
Her husband, Justin, a career diplomat and amateur gardener at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. His quest takes him to the Foreign Office in London, across Europe and Canada and back to Africa, to the depths of South Sudan, and finally to the very spot where Tessa died.
On his way Justin meets terror, violence, laughter, conspiracy and knowledge. But his greatest discovery is the woman he barely had time to love.
